ÖVP under pressure – Greens: now double criticism of coalition partner

Date:

The Greens are apparently not completely satisfied with their coalition partner at the moment. In interviews on Saturday, the ÖVP was criticized on two different levels. Club president Sigrid Maurer reprimanded Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP) for his appearance at this week’s special session of the National Council and several MPs reject snappy announcements from Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) after the Halloween riots in Linz.

The head of the department had recently called for the eviction of the raging youths to be investigated where possible. It’s “wrong to demand measures that don’t work in an initial emotional move,” Green’s security spokesman Georg Bürstmayr said in “Standard.” It is simply wrong to lead an asylum debate now.

The demand for deportations only serves populism and does not solve the problems, says green integration spokeswoman Faika El-Nagashi. You have to look at the living situation of the young people, even if it is not so easy.

Maurer, on the other hand, admits to Vice President Nehammer in the “Upper Austrian News” that in his speech in the National Council he distanced himself from what happened in the People’s Party under Sebastian Kurz. But the chancellor’s criticism of the opposition can only be appreciated to a limited extent, even if the tone in parliament is “sometimes extremely shrill”: “The ÖVP group leader is mainly called on to create order in his own ranks instead of commenting to distribute in parliament.”
